Chemical Structure

5-Fluoro-2-methylbenzoxazole CAS 701-16-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Fluoro-2-methylbenzoxazole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Fluoro-2-methylbenzoxazole (CAS 701-16-6), molecular formula C8H6FNO and molecular weight 151.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C8H6FNO, 5-Fluoro-2-methylbenzoxazole contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 151.14 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 5-Fluoro-2-methylbenzoxazole under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
